deepgram-java-voice-agent
Use when writing or reviewing Java code in this repo that builds an interactive voice agent over `agent.deepgram.com/v1/agent/converse`. Covers `client.agent().v1().v1WebSocket()`, `AgentV1Settings`, `sendSettings`, `sendMedia`, event handlers, provider configuration, and message injection. Use `deepgram-java-text-to-speech` for one-way synthesis or the STT skills for transcription-only flows. Triggers include "voice agent", "agent converse", "full duplex", "barge in", "function call", and "agent websocket".

Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that clearly defines its scope (interactive voice agent over a specific Deepgram API), lists concrete API methods and capabilities, provides explicit trigger terms, and proactively distinguishes itself from related skills. The 'Use when' clause is well-formed and the boundary guidance ('Use deepgram-java-text-to-speech for one-way synthesis') is a strong differentiator. The description is concise yet comprehensive.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions and API elements: building an interactive voice agent, using specific methods like `client.agent().v1().v1WebSocket()`, `AgentV1Settings`, `sendSettings`, `sendMedia`, event handlers, provider configuration, and message injection. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (building an interactive voice agent over the Deepgram agent converse API with specific methods and configurations) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause for writing/reviewing Java code in this repo, plus explicit trigger terms and guidance on when to use alternative skills instead). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Explicitly lists natural trigger terms ('voice agent', 'agent converse', 'full duplex', 'barge in', 'function call', 'agent websocket') and includes technical identifiers like the API endpoint and method names that users working in this domain would reference. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with a clear niche (Java voice agent over a specific Deepgram API endpoint) and explicitly differentiates itself from related skills (`deepgram-java-text-to-speech` for one-way synthesis, STT skills for transcription-only), reducing conflict risk. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
64%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid, actionable skill with executable Java code examples and comprehensive API surface coverage. Its main weaknesses are the lack of explicit error handling/validation workflows for WebSocket operations and some verbosity in sections like 'When to use this product' and 'Central product skills' that don't add much value for Claude. The gotchas section is genuinely useful but could be tighter.
Suggestions
Add explicit error handling and validation steps to the workflow (e.g., what to do if connect() fails, how to verify settings were applied via onSettingsApplied, reconnection strategy).
Trim the 'When to use this product' section to a single line or remove it — Claude can infer routing from the description and trigger words.
Move the 'Central product skills' section to a bundle reference file or remove it, as it's promotional rather than instructional.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation (e.g., 'When to use this product' section with obvious routing, the 'Central product skills' section at the bottom, and some gotchas that explain SDK internals Claude could infer). The import list in the quick start is verbose but arguably necessary for Java. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable Java code for authentication, quick start with settings configuration, message injection, and lists all key API methods and event handlers. The code is copy-paste ready with real class names and method signatures. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The quick start implicitly shows the workflow (create client → register onWelcome → send settings → register handlers → connect), but there's no explicit validation or error handling steps. For a WebSocket-based voice agent with multiple moving parts, missing error recovery guidance and no explicit checkpoint for verifying connection success caps this at 2. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to example files and external docs are present and well-organized, but there are no bundle files to support progressive disclosure. The API reference section provides layered external links which is good, but the skill itself is somewhat long with inline content (gotchas, full parameter lists) that could be split out. No bundle files exist to offload detail. | 2 / 3 |
